We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the loons! After staying in a site that flooded last year we were happy to see the renovations and no site puddles! Great job also with the wifi-we used that on the rainy days.

The Gaylord south Bradford Lake KOA is a clean open campground with a friendly staff. The beach area is beautiful. It has trail access and is close to several major tourist destinations. We stayed there nine days and it felt like home.

It was great having all the family members in one area and not all over the place. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for a better staff and campground to go to all the improvements that was made over the last two years was amazing to me, thank you for a job well done

This is a very well taken care of KOA. Gravel sites are mostly level, with this being a renovated campground amenities are very good. Staff is professional and friendly. Big rig friendly, with large sites. They are still renovating the park although the renovation doesn't bother campers. Would definitely camp here again.

We planned a quick overnight stop midweek on our way to the UP. This campground definitely delivered. Big level campsites, easy pull through access, and super clean facilities. It is a small capacity campground, which is pretty cool.

Great new KOA! Once they get the infrastructure in place it will be a nice one. Had a little problem figuring out which one (there are two in close proximity) we had booked. The address we loaded in our GPS was from the confirmation sent to us but it was the wrong one which caused some confusion with payment but they were great about straightening it out.

Been here every year for a long time. We do a girl's weekend every year and always come back. One of our favorite campgrounds in Michigan. Love the people that run the place.

We held our family reunion at Bradford Lake KOA. They were ver accommodating with reservations and the campground was clean and well managed. They are working on improving their steps and some sites need gravel to be flatter and wider, but having full services at our site was great. Great internet too, even with full capacity. Thanks.

Very nice campground, but very expensive considering there is no laundry facility.

We'll b returning. Clean, spacious campsites. Beautiful lake to enjoy swimming, fishing & boating. The owners r very friendly & helpful with information u may need. Gaylord is only 20 minutes away & plenty of restaurants to choose from to enjoy on those days u don't want to cook.

Very nice campground with well maintained sites. The staff is very friendly and professional. The sites are well spaced with plenty of room between each site. Easy access for large coaches so entry and exit are super easy. Nice place and I would not hesitate to stay again.

Great campground and very large lots. The KOA had a change in ownership and has under went a renovation. I would rate it a 10 once the newly planted grass grows and the laundromat is completed. Terrific staff and owners.

Renovation is coming along nicely. Jerome and Melissa are great! Look forward to seeing the place with grass growing. Nice campground but wouldn’t be interested in paying higher rates than are being charged now.

Great owners who waived our early arrival fee. They also delivered out Amazon packages and firewood. Sites were nice, well kept, right on the lake with toys to rent. We were here for 1 week and enjoyed our stay. It's also about 45 min to Mackinaw City/ Island.

A multi-family group of 12 next to us was too noisy.

Very nice campground. Nice bathrooms and on a beautiful lake. Grounds are very well taken care of. Had quite abit of color change also. Did some site seeing but for the most part, just relaxed. Will definitely go back next year.

Excerpts from the Autobiograhy of David Ward ..."The evening we reached Bradford Lake the wind turned south accompanied by gushes of warm air so that by five o'clock in the afternoon of April first the snow level had lowered fully two feet. The wind then changd to the West and it froze lightly that night. I selected on April first some nice cork pine lots on the West side of Bradford Lake, which I lately sold to Henry Stephens & Co."
